YC's stepdad is a bit of a joker...him and YC's mum caught an early morning taxi to the airport the other month, told us the night before "Make sure you look after Henry! (the vac)" .
5 in the morning, YC and me fast asleep when suddenly I hear this godawful noise that sounds like a the hairdryer...i sit bolt upright in bed, YC still bloody asleep and so I kick him up and tell him to go find out where it is (someone has to keep the bed warm
). Turns out it's Henry Hoover in the next door bedroom which has floorboards (so the sound is amplified) and he's on a timed plug! Grrrrrrrrrr
Another popular one of his stepdad's. Apparently it used to be a tradition when they were younger and about to get married to get hold of the keys of the groom, go over to his house while he on his honeymoon and take all the lightbulbs out lol!
And one other, when a landlord started playing silly beggars come the end of a contract, him ( being a sparky) and his mates set about rewiring the house...so the bathroom light switched on the extractor fan and stuff
